The Doctoral School of Social Sciences and Business at Roskilde University, Denmark, is accepting applications for its annual research scholarship.
The Department of Social Sciences and Business, Roskilde University, invites applications for a position as PhD of business studies from 1st of September 2018 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position as PhD is limited to a period of 3 years.
You will be enrolled as a PhD student at the PhD programme in business studies at The Doctoral School of Social Sciences and Business. The PhD programme in Business Studies prepares future researchers for an academic career, or a career in a research-based job in industry. Faculty cover a wide range of disciplines, such as accounting, finance, marketing, service management, innovation, strategy, organization, leadership, human resource management, and others. We are particularly interested in attracting future PhD students who want to develop research that is interdisciplinary, empirical, and applicable to real-world contexts. However, any idea is welcome.
The scholarship prioritizes proposals linked to research themes covered by either the Management and Organization, or Innovation in Service and Experience research groups:

The application must include the following documents in a single PDF file. Kindly note the page limits for the proposal and do not exceed it. Any additional documents that are not listed under the following four items or pages exceeding the maximum length will not be considered.
1. A Curriculum Vitae (CV) (maximum length 5 pages) that summarizes the applicant's academic experience
2. Documentation of previous education (a Master's degree and grade is essential; the written evaluation of the thesis may be included)
3. A research proposal for the PhD Project (maximum length 5 pages plus reference list)
- The proposal should clearly indicate all of the following:
- field of study
- research problem
- theoretical framework
- review of the relevant literature
- methodological approaches
- analytical framework (general considerations regarding the empirical evidence to be analysed)
- ethical considerations relevant to the project
- time schedule indicating how the applicant plans to complete the research proposed within a three-year period
4. A detailed letter of support from a full-time ISE faculty member or faculty member at their home institution.
Due to the anticipated number of applicants, the application guidelines will be strictly enforced. Research Proposals should be single spaced, using Times New Roman size 12 font, 2 cm margins on all sides, numbered pages, and with a header stating the applicant's name.
Candidates who do not follow the guidelines, incomplete, or late applications, will not be considered. In past experience, applications from candidates whose Master's thesis was awarded a grade indicating less than 'an excellent performance' in the Danish system or its international equivalent will be at a considerable disadvantage.
